Their crimes are horrific. The nine men "face 55 charges, including inciting child prostitution, grooming and rape between 2007 and 2009," the Mail reported.

The girls — who cannot be named for legal reasons — were said to have received cash, alcohol, drugs, meals and mobile phone credit in exchange for sex with some of the defendants.

Three of the men – Ahdel Ali, 23, his brother Mubarek Ali, 28, and Tanveer Ahmed, 39 – allegedly acted as "pimps," passing two of the young girls among their friends and using them as sexual commodities.

Mubarek Ali is also accused of trafficking one of the girls, while Abdul Rouf, 34, and Mohammed Younis, 59, are accused of using their homes as brothels for child prostitution.

Deborah Gould, prosecuting, said: "The Crown say that the men in the dock variously trafficked, raped or sexually abused girls both over and under the age of 16 years over a considerable period of time.

"These men ensnared these girls. They had cars, jobs and money which gave them both freedom and power. They enticed the girls, groomed the girls and then exploited them either for their own sexual gratification or for money."

Asian/Muslim Criminals, White English Victims

The prosecutor also told the court that the crimes were "not about race, religion, colour or creed." Rather, she stressed, the real problem was that the victims were troubled girls who were "highly vulnerable" to attention from the men.

Yet the Mail's reports, citing police and a university study, shows that the cases are indeed all about "race, religion, colour [and] creed."

The Mailhas deliveredtwo shocking reports about "British-born Pakistanis," who are Muslims, targeting and grooming white girls as young as 12 to use first as sex toys and then as sex slaves and prostitutes. In a story on Nov. 25 last year, the Mail reported that the predators "plied the ­victims — most from broken homes — with vodka and cocaine before taking them to ‘parties’ in hotels or flats with other gang members to rape or degrade them."

A third story in the Mail cited a report from the Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science, at University College London, which explained an even more vexing problem: "Police and social services have been accused of fueling a culture of silence which has allowed hundreds of young white girls to be exploited by Asian men for sex."

Agencies have identified a long-term pattern of offending by gangs of men, predominantly from the British Pakistani community, who have befriended and abused hundreds of vulnerable girls aged 11 to 16.

Experts claim the statistics represent a mere fraction of a "tidal wave" of offending in counties across the Midlands and the north of England which has been going on for more than a decade.

A senior detective averred that "girls are being passed around and used as meat," the Mail reported. As well, he said:

To stop this type of crime you need to start everyone talking about it but everyone's been too scared to address the ethnicity factor.

No one wants to stand up and say that Pakistani guys in some parts of the country are recruiting young white girls and passing them around their relatives for sex, but we need to stop being worried about the racial complication.

According to the Dando Institute, the Pakistani Muslims start grooming the girls as early as age 11. The Muslims woo the girls into a relationship, then begin "pimping her out to friends and associates" the Mail reported. The sex slavers move the girls around the country.

As well, the Mail reported, Dando research unearthed "17 court prosecutions since 1997, 14 of them in the past three years, involving the on-street grooming of girls aged 11 to 16 by groups of men."

The victims came from 13 towns and cities and in each case two or more men were convicted of offences.

In total, 56 people, with an average age of 28, were found guilty of crimes including rape, child abduction, indecent assault and sex with a child.

Three of the 56 were white, 53 were Asian. Of those, 50 were Muslim and a majority were members of the British Pakistani community.

Those convicted allegedly represent only a small proportion of what one detective called a "tidal wave" of offending in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and the Midlands.

The claims come after five Asian men were jailed in November for a total of 32 years for a string of sexual offences against girls aged between 12 and 16 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

Unsurprisingly, the Institute's report, the Mail said, "concluded that "race is a delicate issue" that should be "handled sensitively but not brushed under the carpet."

The BBC quoted a worker with a relief agency trying to help the abused girls: "This is going on in every town and city in the UK."

PC Police Work

These cases aren't the only ones that scare police because of race and religion. London' s Telegraphreported on June 12 that cops are hiding the truth about a wave of crime in city's Tower Hamlets neighborhood.

Muslims, the paper reported, rule the streets there, and recently attacked a religious education teacher because he was teaching Muslim children about other religions.

As well, Muslim gangs roam the streets looking for other Muslims who do not obey the dictates of Islamic observance. A gang of Muslims thrashed a co-religionist in the middle of the street because he was smoking during the holly month of Ramadan.

As well, Muslims in Tower Hamlets are waging a campaign of terror and intimidation against homosexuals. The local mosque featured a "spot the fag" contest. Muslims have also declared the neighborhood a "gay-free" zone.

Police, homosexual activists say, are afraid to pursue anti-homosexual crimes and intimidation with vigor because they fear Muslim wrath.
